Best Of The US

Around 'ere, as you already know, we're Grimey all the way, but that doesn't mean we don't know about US music! So, every week we'll be bringing you our round up of the best music straight from the US of A.

With his album right around the corner and plenty of leaks left right and centre there is no way we could leave out Drake when it comes to the best of the US. What I love about Drake is his ability to almost re-invent himself with every song. Yeah, he wears his heart on his (YMCMB jumper) sleeve and gets waayyy too sensitive when it comes to females but thats why we love him.


Childish Gambino. Never heard of him? Go to a tattoo shop and tattoo his name to the insides of your eye lids. This guy means business. Fans of Tyler, the Creator and his clan Odd Future will most probably love them som Childish, as you can definately see similarities in there bars, flow and peculiar videos. Childish Gambino, also known as Donald Glover (don't bate out my government name bruv) is a man of many talents. Aswell as being a rapper under the alias of Childish Gambino, he is also an actor, writer, comedian, and musician (not just rap). Never the less, this guy is going places. Check out 'Bonfire' below.



If you don't know about Wale please walk yourself over to a mirror and ask yourself 'what am I doing with my life?'. Wale is, and has always been one of the most underrated rappers in the industry. Many may say this is because he talks about real issues (listen to 'Family Affair' if you disagree) and isn't scared to write a song about there skin tone, as discussed in 'Shades' featuring Chrisette Michelle ('I never fit in with them light skins, I felt the lighter they was, the better that they life is') but perhaps the release of his  second album 'Ambition' has slightly changed peoples ignorance towards the rapper that is Wale. One of the deepest and honest songs on the album is the same titled 'Ambition' featuring Meek Mill and Rick Ross (his Mayback Music Group fellows). The word 'ambition' definately aspires itself to Wale. He's stayed true to himself and worked his way up to what he has now. Can we have the next album like now, please?
